Now, I need to locate all of your winter wheat fields on this FSA farm or parcel(s) of land and obtain the acreage in each field. This will be used to randomly select one or more of your fields for objective yield observations.
a. Draw each winter wheat field on the grid map.
b. Number fields; north to south – west to east.
c. For each field record the data required in Table A, Columns 2 thru 5.
(Column 5) Accumulate the acreage to be harvested, field by field, to a total for this FSA Farm or parcel(s) of land. Note that the cumulative acreage for the first field will be the same as the acreage in that first field. The cumulative acreage for the second field equals the first cumulative acreage plus the second field acreage for harvest.
